Sorry, I thought that you meant the BBQ itself, not the pergola. My misunderstanding.
The roof fabric, & curtains are available/replaceable, as it really isn’t an easy sew because of the size. Imagine sewing an 'Normous umbrella.
Curtains are easier as they are flat, but it is still a lot of fabric to get through the machine.
At the campsite, they remove the fabric at the end of the season,roll it when it is completely dry & store it rolled in the caravan. Canvas doesn’t do well being folded.
The thing that makes stranded knitting interesting, I have decided, is that each row or round of it is a new pattern for my fingers to learn. Learning each new one (from a round of aababaabaa to one of aababaaaaa with a catch-over for b between the second and third a of the long strand, to on of aabababa, say) is a new small challenge. Otherwise I would go stark mad well before the end of the yoke…
The number of stitches in each round has gone up from 100, in increments of 50 as far as 400, and after this the only changes will be reducing not increasing, which may also keep me sane when I contemplate it.
Cross-threading (surely not inappropriate in the context of observations re stranded knitting), it surprises me that That Sparrer needs a comprehensive automated blasphemer…
The International Speed Record for Deliberate Knitting on the Model is held by Fräulein Nähnadel of Prague, who circumknitted a 6-foot infantry sergeant in a field-green multiple belliclover, encompassed on 24 needles, in 56 mins. 23 secs. (Prosit!)
